Lessons of My Life!



Everywhere I go there is always abuse
I just have to accept it; I’m just a child that God must want to use.
I try & try to escape it, I really really do..
People say I ask for it & are convinced that’s really true.
How dare you turn & look the other way!
When you were told it was coming yet you still turned astray.
Still & all I was confused, all of this time I thought it was I that made you unhappy & sigh
I disappeared for years & years
Repeated paths that all you feared
In times was still, but always the same
I am the one willing to always take the blame
Hold on sweetie or better as you call it Boo..
I don’t tolerate the BS Because of you!
I am factual, reliable, honest & way too strong for you,
If you’re paid attention you will see all along I told the truth!
Weather I sugar coated or not,
You must all be real & admit that the words I speak out my mouth make your heart HOT.
I am not as lost or as clueless as some of you!
Been there done that
Through all of this on my face some wanted me to fall flat!
Guess what?
I am too BLESSED, to be depressed!
Yes I am different, DUH? I know!
 For the last time I tell you! It’s not for me to follow your flow!
Weather you know it or not all that is important is that NOW I KNOW!
